Microstructure Mapping: An Approach to Quantitative Interpretation of Microstructural Evolution in Indian Fast Reactor Advanced Clad Material during Hot Forging
Abstract:
In this paper, microstructural evolution of Indian Fast Reactor Advanced Clad (IFAC-1) steel during thermo-mechanical processing has been investigated. Hot isothermal forging has been simulated in a Gleeble® thermo-mechanical simulator in the temperature range 1173-1473K and true strain rate range 0.01-100s-1. Instability map has been developed using the stress-strain data obtained. Effect of major forging parameters on various microstructural features has been studied quantitatively. Results from this study have been used to construct various maps (‘μ-maps’) representing different aspects of microstructural evolution. An analogy between the μ-maps and instability maps provides essential insights into possible instability mechanisms operative in the material. The μ-map analysis shows potential as a tool for optimisation of industrial-scale forging parameters.
